2182? I’m not planning on being in town around then, if you know what I mean.

“Scientists have estimated and monitored the potential impacts for this asteroid through 2200 by means of two mathematical models (Monte Carlo Method and line of variations sampling).”

“Some guys built a loaded numerical model. Then they threw some WAGs into the model, but used the fancy ‘scientific’ names for WAG.”
